TMNT: Leonardo Micro Series #1

Leonardo battles waves of Foot Soldiers across New York, with no dialogue or sound effects, in a tense action sequence. Meanwhile, April, Splinter, and the other Turtles prepare for Christmas, though Michelangelo worries about Leo’s absence. As the storm worsens, Raphael decides to search for him. Leo, however, is ambushed at a construction site by the Foot and Shredder. Just as his brothers prepare to leave, Leo crashes through the window, bloodied and beaten, warning them: “He’s… back… the… Shredder!”
